The Democrats of South Carolina
hold their preponderating supremacy in
that State by reason of swindling bal
lot-box system, devised for the special
purpose of defrauding the ignorant me-
groes. In the House of Assembly of that
State. ON Wednesday, bill to amend
the election laws by substituting two
boxes for the ubiquitous eight-box sys-
tenn was overwhelmingly defeated with
out q word of debate from the Demo.
cratic, side of the House. Mr.. Miller, a
Republican member from Beauford and
the author of the BILL took occasion to
denounce the present system as dishon-
est. He declared that men were hold
ing offices to which they had never been
elected, and declared that the Republi-
cans of the State had no showing at all,
and could not have proper representa-
ton while this law was in force. But
the Democrats preserved the stolid sill
ence of shameless thieves safe in possess
sion of the plumber.

that in three towns comprising the Beth

have been erected in the present year,
costing one million dollars. This is said
to be largely the result of the awarding

He Could Not Tell His Own Baby,

"Don't you know your own baby" This
question was put to man about 25 years old
in an uptown photograph gallery the other
day. swell, know I'm supposed to, but six
months old babies look so much alike, and
this is our first. I'm free to confess that I'm
not positive about that being my baby's pict-
ure." The photograph was cabinet size, and
the photographer was very much surprised
that the paternal parent could not recognize
it. dts a perfect picture Of the original,

and wept happy tears as he said to the

Snow Melting Apparatus.

A system Of snow melting has been devised
by Mr.. f. Lyon, London. When it is con-
sidered that fall of snow inches deep, over
one mile of road go feet wide, amounts to
1866 cubic yards, the impossibility CT remov-
ing it promptly by horses and carts is at once
apparent-the more so when it is remembered
that some metropolitan vestries have from 80
to 100 miles of road, and thus would have to
deal with from SOC, 900 to 100000 cubic yards
Of snow, assuming 8 inch fall to occur The
principle of Mr.. Lyons invention, according
TO Scientific American, is that the snow can
be dealt with in the roads on which it falls,
when it is in a light and feecy condition, and
therefore easily melted.
The apparatus consists Of wrought iron
tube about 35 feet long, having furnace at
one end and short length of vertical pipe
for q chimney at the other. The tube is
made in lengths of 6 feet, and each length is
tapered so that they all fit into each other
and are closely packed for transport on
wheels. When fall of snow occurs the ap-
paratus is to be laid along the cutters of the
roads to be cleared, the width occupied being
about feet. A fire is then to be lighted in
the furnace, the heat from which will pass
along the horizontal tube, which hos fatty
arched top. The snow is then to be shoveled
on to the heated tube, which will melt 1t, the
resulting water flowing away to the nearest
gully. A trial of this apparatus took place
in the st. Marleybone district in February,
1885, on some snow which had fallen long
previously and had been twice carried. Not
withstanding the solidified condition of the
snow and the imperfect condition of the ex-
perimental apparatus, it is stated that 81
yards of the consolidated snow, weighing 10
tons cwt. 3 qrs., and equal to 1913 yards Of
freshly fallen snow, were melted in ten hours
with consumption Of coke of the value Of
Is. I'd, or under 194d. per ton.

An Ex-Confederate Tells How Union
Woman Captured Three Soldiers.
During the retreat of Lees army from the
field of Gettysburg to the Potomac great
effort was made by the officers to prevent
struggling, but it would have required an
officer to man to have carried out the pro-
gramme successfully. We had been beaten
and felt discouraged and reckless. We
were on short rations, the weather was dismal
and the rank and file were in no mood to be
nagged by strict discipline.
The command to which l belonged left
Gettysburg about 10 o'clock at night, and for
the first three or four hours the men were
kept well in hand under the impression that
we were only changing positions to secure an
advantage over the Federals. As daylight
broke and we realized that we were on the
way home squads and individuals broke away
at every opportunity to forage for break
fast. In company with two private soldiers
belonging in my company l slipped away
from the column about sunrise, and, while a
black looking thunder storm seemed close at
hand, we bolted into piece of woods by the
roadside and then struck for highway run
ming at right angles, and on which we could
make out three or four farm houses. We
selected the first or nearest, and as we entered
the gate woman opened the door and stood
waiting for us to approach. She knew we

we came near she began to exhibit the usual
characteristics, and we were having consider
able fun at her expense, when the door was
shut with bang and we heard the rattle of
chain and paddock. 1t was a close, dark
place, and it was minute or two before we
reached the door and understood the situa-
ton. We began to kick and shout, and pres
emily the woman's voice replied:
dts no use trying to get OUT You are my
prisoners, and kicking won't do any good"
How nice and soft we talked to her, but il

A Remarkable Salt Bed.

One Of the most remarkable salt beds In the
world, says American Naturalist, is located
on the isle of Petit Anse, southwestern Lou
isiana, 1876 miles due west from New Orleans.
The deposit is pure crystal salt. So far as it
has been traced there are $50 acres Of un-
known depth explored 40 feet down. The
surface of the bed unduIates from one foot
above TO six feet below tide level. By
analyses the salt is 90.S8 per cent. pure. The
position of the salt shows it to be older than
the coal and sandstone which lie above It,
